Progressive Eucher Parties.

Progressive eucher parties are the greatest possible rage in many quarters of the great city at this particular juncture. Butcher, thus revived, has a new degree of interest. The party is conducted upon the theory of making each member of the party acquaint- ed with all the other members. A player starts at one table among the several scat tered about the room. If he wins at the first :able he passes on to the next. and is credited with one game. If he wins again, he moves forward one table. If he loses, he sits where he is, and his opponent or opponents go on. So it progresses until the entire circuit is made, when prizes are distributed to tbe most successful players, while the failures smile sweetly and try not to seem envious Under this system every one in the room is brought into direct contact with everybody else at some time during the evening, and much of the uneasy formality of ordinary social en- tertainments is worn off.-New York World.

Adulteration of Lard.

''One of the greatest evils of the day." said W. w. Kimball, of Boston, land one of the most far reaching in it's effects is the adul- teration of lard. The abuses emanating from it are almost as bad as those abuses coming from the manufacture and sale of intoxicat- ing drinks. It is matter that the public is not generally aware of, yet it has been proven by investigation and chemical analy- ses that about 75 per cent. of the product sold for pure lard in this country is more or less adulterated with foreign substances. These compounds are made of various ingredients, such as beef and mutton tallow, cotton seed oil, and, in some instances, of grease that has been chemically whitened and deodorized. In some cases there is no lard at all in the compound, and yet the stuff is offered for sale as choice, pure lard. d."-Chicago Times.

GOOdby to Boots.

We are bidding adieu to the ancient boots. The rising generation won't have them. Not only do sales fall off every year, but they fall off at the wrong end. Only old men or labor ing men buy them. Young America won't touch them for daily use, and wants only special kinds for fishing, hunting and rough ing it in the woods. It is hard to tell why people don't care for them. They are very ornamental and very lasting. Their price may have something to do with it, of course A pair of handsome boots cannot be made for less than S2O, and cost from this all the way up to $50 Perhaps swelldom is growing economical There is still good demand for boots from engineers, sea captains, naval officers and army officials. Here they are very useful and probably always will be in style.-New York Star.

HIGH PRICES FOR PARROTS.

f1nancial Sensation Among fanclefs-
 Captains Unlucky Investment.
 That chattering genius of the bird tribe vulgarily known as the poll parrot is creat- ing something of Q financial sensation among fanclefs, who find more customers than par rots, but who are timid about holding tnelr prizes at such prices as now prevail, for rear that W est India or South American Hee6 may at any moment overstock tho market. ''Sure enough, there's boom in parrots, said Ninth street dealer, land we are get ting high prices for the birds on hand, especl- ally for Brazilian pets that can talk. The other day we sold a bird for $50, and we hold this one in the cage here pointing to a fine specimen on perch near by) at SIPS"
 "These are unusual figures, then!'
 ''Oh, yes. We sold the s15O parrot partly on its merit and partly because it bore 9 strong resemblance to tho recently deceased pet of an old lady of Spring Garden street, who was fond of her bird as though it had been her daughter. But it was bright parrot, could whistle like flute, and knew half dozen such tunes as sComin' Thro' the Rye,' Yankee Doodle,' Over the Fence is Out and The Old Man Drunk Again The latter tune it learned from its last mistress, along with sundry profane expressions, which cut down it's value at least $50 A parrot that would spit out half dozen tunes with out cuss word, say Good night and Good morning. at the proper times and would not fight with the house cat would, ill the present condition of the market, fetch S250."
 'sIs the parrot market cornered?'
 "Oh, no. That was tried once and New York firm bought up all the talking parrots ill the country quietly, at fair prices, and waited for big rise. Just as tho corner was about to succeed two vessels sailed into New York harbor with several hundred birds on board, and the pool was broken, tho syndi- cate losing over s10O, GOO Oil the t,cal
 But that was not so queer as tho bad luck of captain who bought over hu;.t,rcd or more parrots in 1884. He left Rio about two months before the presidential election. The captain was cock sure of Blaines election, and thought that he would make Q spec by teaching the birds to say 'Hurrah for Elaine' The sailors were busy during the entire voy- age instructing the birds in this single sen tence. When the vessel arrived Cleveland had been elected and the parrots were dead loss The captain didn't get enough for them to pay the first cost"
 "What are the prevailing prices row:'
 Well, Cuban parrots sell for from S5 to S15, and Brazilian parrots from soO to $1s5, These are double the prices which have been prevailing. The result is due to limited supply and brisk demand. Parrots are great pets, and an old lady the other day bought an old parrot from us for $1O which we had about made up our minds to give away, just because the bird looked like ono which she had owned for years and which had just died. ."-Philadelph Record.
